S. government printing office at Washington, D. C. Until a few years ago when he retired and located In Los Angeles, he made frequent trips back to Decatur and held a wide circle of friends here. A thorough gentleman and in every way a good friend and a splendid man, he was always interesting and good to meet. —JO—O—Get your old clothes ready for the county drive next month when a nation wide campaign will be conducted to gather clothing for war refugees and victims of the war in Europe. It is one of the most important works ever attempted in thie country and will

mean much to millions of suffer-

Ing people over the world. Clarence Ziner, well known local tire man, has accepted the position as county chairman and he will be assisted by Phil Sauers and L. L. Hann. Schools and churches will be urged to cooperate and a liberal response is anticipated here where we always make good. —-o—o Next Sunday ie Easter, universally observed as the most sacred of Christian festivals. As every one knows it marks the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ and in every church in the land is annually marked with special services. During this week prayer and -song services will be conducted with general observation of Good Friday and concluding with the Sunday sermons and programs. Never has more sincere interest been manifest in religious affairs than during thi* period when the world is at war and when so many tragic events are daily reported. The various services will be well

attended this week. O—o Postwar Business: Walter Shead, former Bluffton man, now a columnist for WNU in Washington analizes the situation of tomorrow in one of his letters, saying in part: "The belief is prevalent here that for several years immediately following the war, and perhaps longer, consumer demand and purchasing power will continue at a high level. The difference will be that the smaller business, and all 'business as a matter of fact, must deal with a buyer's market, rather than a seller’s market. With more plentiful commodity good* for sale, competition will be keen With buyers picking and choosing with an eye to quality and price. Qu tea difference to the scramble for any-

■thing at any price which prevails today. “Here are some things leaders feel government must do; revise tax laws and tax structure; enforce monopoly laws, eliminate cartels, place small busineAs on same plane as large during transition period; access to new techniques and processes and equitable distribution of surplus war materials; elimination of book work entailed by voluminous government reports and early elimination of emergency • war agencies. “The American Bankers assocition is sponsoring creation of local credit itools. The Investment Bank- . eiS association is interested in lowering costs of floating securities; treasury officials have indicated a reduction in tax rates on business and of the structure will be undertaken as soon as practicable. Refunds on excess profits taxes may come sooner than espect-

ed. “All business will wind up the war in a strong financial position which should foster a willingness to assume risk. And small business is desirous of a revival of the spirit of individual initiative, free enterprise and open competition which is regarded as the lifeblood of free business. “By the end of the war the nation will have the greatest productive capacity in hietory. There is a stored-up purchasing power of more than 65 billions of dollars among individuals. 50 percent of it in the small towns and rural communities. Business iteelf has more than 50 billions- in savings, bonds, undivided profits and unused depreciation and other reserves. It is believed here that there will never again be a program of scarcity either in production of consumer, durable good*, or in agriculture, and that in the postwar era business can sell its output.”

ROMANTIC MABQUIRAOI k hy MARIE BLIZARD ®BY AUTHOR. lUSTfUSUTED KIKS FEATURES §^IZIICATB,

r SYNOPSIS 1 Daphne Willoughby had thrilled ' North Wintridge when she eloped at 17 with Carlo Abruzzi, a concert violinist. For eight years, until his death, she lived abroad. Letters from her to Kate Dennison and other friends back home were masterpieces of romantic imagination. After Carlo's death, Daphne worked for four years with Corinne Hollis, New York decorator. Then she re- , turned, after an absence of twelve years, to the old home town where many welcomed her as a glamorous personality. She remodeled the house willed her by a cousin and is determined not to remarry. She has hired a part-time gardner called ••Steve.” A vivacious subdeb, “Buff” Turner, and the latter’s beau, Perry Dawson, are helping Daphne and "Steve” with the gardening. Daphne has just remembered .that she had forgotten to pay “Steve” yesterday. CHAPTER SEVEN "Steve,” she called. “Will you eome up here, please?" He appeared at the door, and announced, “The ground’s moist from last night’s rain; thought I’d get at some transplanting.” “It’s nice of you to do that.” Daphne slapped a brushful of apple green paint on her wall. “Will you please hand me my pocketbook?” ■ He brought it to her and she got i out her check-book and fountain pen. “I forgot to get any cash yes- ■ terday.” She blew on the freshly inked check. “But here’s your pay.” He didn’t move to take it. I “Tomorrow will do. I’d rather ! have . . . the cash.” “But the check is good.” ’ ' “Not to me,” he said pleasantly. I “You want the petunias or the zinnias along the brick walk?” ' “Petunias.” She paused, then asked, “Will petunias come up I next year?” “I believe so. 1 can make sure, if ft's important.” “It is important. You see I expect to live in this house for the rest of my life.” At that instant both Daphne and Steve were startled by what sounded like a fleet of motors pulling up | in the drive, bringing a load of wild i Indians who rent the air with 1 whoops. By the time she’d got off her stepladder and reached the stairs, the "Injuns” were trooping into her house, led by Corinne Hollis, who i looked most un-Indian-like in country clothes of metropolitan design. Daphne caught a confused impression of pastel plaids, checked tweeds and sports shoes. Then she got the melee sorted out and saw ! that they were only six: Corinne and two strange females, two unj known men, and Alan Pembroke; “It was such a lovely day we thought we'd surprise you, and have a picnic.” ' Danhne — aware of Alan’s eyes.
